Around 7 p.m. Thursday evening, the power went out for many Collegetown businesses on the 400 block of College Avenue — plunging student hangouts like Collegetown Bagels, Rulloff’s, Apollo’s and 7/11 into near-darkness. Calls made by the businesses to NYSEG had employees estimating that power will return to the block by 9:45 p.m.

More than 7,000 people are without power in Tompkins County, multiple elevators are stuck with people inside and traffic lights are blinking yellow due to a power outage that is affecting the entire Cornell campus.

Opinion: "Black Lives Matter everywhere, and we call upon the Cornell community to devote their time, financial resources and energy to both the Cornell for Black Lives Fundraiser and cultivating long-lasting change on our campus."
